Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 22, 1922.

(GRANTED UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THE ACT OF MARCH 3, 1921, 41 STAT. L, 1313.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, RAYMOND MOORE and HARRY MOORE, subjects of the King of Great Britain and Ireland, residing at Bradford and Hippaholme, respectively, in the county of York, England, have invented a certain new and useful Cleansing Compound (for which I have filed application in Great Britain, No. 123597, dated March 1, 1918), of which the following is a specification.

This improved compound or paste is intended more especially for use by ironworkers and others to clean their hands or the like when become very dirty or soiled as a consequence of their work, but it may also be used for domestic purposes, such as for removing foreign matter from polished metal-ware of all kinds, crockery, or enamelled or glass ware.

We form our improved compound of soda, fine sand, a liquid cutting compound such as is generally employed in machine tools for keeping the cutting tool cool durin cutting operations, with or without alkali and a hardwood sawdust, in approximately the following proportions:

Crystallized soda 2.50 per cent. Fine sand 70.00 per cent. A cutting compound as aforesaid 22.50 per cent.

Pure dry alkali containing 98 -or 99% of carbonate of soda 2.50 per cent. Sawdust 2.50 per cent.

There are several cutting compounds being manufactured and sold of the aforesaid type, which will give more or less satisfactory results if combined with the other ingredients set out above, but we prefer a cutting compound of ingredients having approximately the following analysis.

Loss on drying 50.75 per cent. Alkali as ammonium hydrate 1.73 per cent. U ncombined oil 37.62 per cent.

)ombined oil as ammonia soap 5.46 per cent. Glycerine, etc. 4.44 per cent.

Acidity in extracted oil (in 37.62%) 6.59 per cent.

Saponification of extracted oil. Unsaponifiable oil 79.79 per cent. Free fatty acids 17.59 percent. Neutral fatty matter 4.91 per cent. Glycerine and the like 6.71 per cent.

In using our improved compound a small portion is well rubbed on to the hands or other parts requiring to be cleaned and later is washed off with clean water. For cleanmg metal-ware or the like, it is applied with a cloth and rubbed over the surface to be cleaned until the stains or foreign matter are removed when it is easily and quickly washed off leaving the parts treated perfectly clean.

Although we prefer a cutting compound of the kind aforesaid, we may employ as a substitute soap solutions not containing unsaponifiable oil, or emulsions of unsaponifiable oil obtained by the use of emulsifying agents other than soap without involving any substantial departure from our invention as defined in the appended claim.

What we claim as our invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is A cleansing paste of the kind aforesaid consisting of 2.50 per cent common crystallized soda, 70 per cent fine sand, 2.50 per compound composed of 50.75 per cent water, 1.73 per cent free ammonia, 37.62 per cent mineral oil, 5.46 per cent ammonia soap, and 4.44 per cent glycerin, substantial- 1y as set forth.

In witness whereof we have signed our names to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

RAYMOND MOORE. HARRY MOORE.
